Re: ETH 1 Port on Driver Station

During the beta program our ETH1 port also broke; physically fell off the board (they have fixed that problem I believe).

We ran the entire beta time running using the wireless connection and wired to the router instead of the DS. So, you can run using a single port on the DS. There maybe some debugging advantages to using the second port, but we never needed to do that.

On that note, if you really think your ETH1 has failed and updating the DS doesn't fix it then you may want to contact FIRST for a replacement.
